Significant evidence for a heritable contribution to cancer predisposition: a review of cancer familiality by site.

BMC cancer - 3 Apr 2012

Albright Frederick, Teerlink Craig, Werner Theresa L, Cannon-Albright Lisa A

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Sound and rigorous well-established, and newly extended, methods for genetic epidemiological analysis were used to analyze population evidence for genetic contributions to risk for numerous common cancer sites in Utah. The Utah Population Database (UPDB) has provided important illumination of the familial contribution to cancer risk by cancer site. METHODS: With over 15 years of new cancer data...
